Davide Ancelotti left Botafogo on December 17th and is now free on the market. The coach has already been speculated about at Real Madrid, but his destination is now different.
According to “La Gazzetta dello Sport”, the former Botafogo commander aroused Pisa’s interest. The club only occupies 19th place in the Italian Championship, and coach Alberto Gilardino is close to being fired.
At this moment, the team has 11 points, while Parma, which is the first team outside the Z-3, has 14 points. Ancelotti’s name excited the board, who are racing to save the team from relegation.
Gilardino is depending on a positive result in the team’s next game, against Juventus, on Saturday (27/12). Defeat could lead to the coach’s dismissal. With this, Davide Ancelotti would have the opportunity to lead his first job in Italy from January 2026.
The experience at Botafogo was Davide’s first as head coach. The Italian is monitored by the international press because he is the son of coach Carlo Ancelotti, who has two historic spells at Real Madrid, and is the current commander of the Brazilian national team.
Davide Ancelotti had a contract with Botafogo until December 2026. During the World Cup period, he had approval to remain as his father’s technical assistant.
